I'd say Jager tastes more like gross cough syrup.
yeah, i can see that. it has some wick vaporub qualities to it. that said in germany people actually use it as cough syrup. or it's more like, having a cough and some jaeger is always an excuse to still drink, cause people will jokingly call it cough syrup.
it's kind of like the german version of lean. we don't have those codeine syrups(illegal), but i think you can get promethazine and dexy, but hard to beat a jaeger trip.
most of my jaeger memories include blood, broken glass and days of regret.
